Anand Swaroop Ji Maharaj's criticism of Niranjani Akhara and glamorous Sadhvi Harsha Richhariya during the Mahakumbh left Harsha Richhariya so hurt that she left the Mahakumbh midway. Shambhavi Peethadhishwar and Kali Sena chief Swami Anand Swaroop Ji Maharaj had said, “It is completely wrong to start such a tradition in Mahakumbh. This is the result of a distorted mentality. In Mahakumbh, it was not the beauty of the face that should have been seen, but the beauty of the heart.
Along with Harsha Richharia, he also commented on Lauren Powell. He had said that Mahakumbh is the biggest gathering of Sanatan Dharma people. Religion and spirituality should be discussed here. Giving initiation to female model and beef-eating foreign woman Lauren Powell without purifying her and giving her a Sanatani name is just a joke and propaganda. Such work in Mahakumbh is just a marketing event and nothing more. Some strict action will be taken after discussing this with the religious leaders, because this is a direct grave sin.
After this statement, Harsha Richhariya, who took initiation into Sanatan Dharma from the model and actor, is crying continuously and is very angry with Anand Swaroop Maharaj. Harsha Richhariya said that I am repeatedly clarifying that I have only taken Mantra initiation. Harsha said that she is moving towards Sanatan culture and religion. She said that she has come here from the field of anchoring, acting and modeling, so what is wrong in it?
Harsha said that whoever has what is written in his destiny, he reaches there even after wandering a million times. Harsha had said that there were other people sitting on the chariot who were householders and had children, but only they were targeted. They are being prevented from participating in the Kumbh and are forced to stay in a closed room only. Crying, he made serious allegations against Swami Anand Swaroop Ji Maharaj and said that Anand Swaroop would be considered a sin.
Before Anand Swaroop Ji Maharaj, Shankaracharya of Jyotirmath Peeth Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati had raised questions on Harsha Richhariya. Shankaracharya had said that, “First he said that one who has not yet decided whether to take initiation into Sannyasa or to get married, it is not appropriate for him to be given a place in the royal chariot of the Saint Mahatmas. It was okay to attend as a devotee, but to sit on the royal chariot in saffron clothes is completely wrong.
